Dissolving Brass How to dissolve brass surrounded by Aluminumaluminium?

I have a broken off brass needle stuck in a caste aluminum hole. (It’s the pilot mixture jet on a carburetor). 

I was wondering if there was a chemical that would dissolve the brass while not reacting to the aluminumaluminium. Thank you!

Previously I’ve tried:

  • usingUsing thermal expansion and contraction to loosen it.
  • attemptingAttempting to poke it out.
  • usingUsing an air compressor to blow it out.

Thanks!
